The Single Wall. The 'single wall' or 'single stack wall' is exactly what it sounds like, a single stack of stones forming a wall. These walls are built of large stone and are much faster to build than a double stack wall, though equipment is often needed to efficiently move stones weighing several hundred pounds each.

Stone walls are a kind of masonry construction that has been used for thousands of years. The first stone walls were constructed by farmers and primitive people by piling loose field stones into a dry stone wall.
